RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

1. get windows iso
2. in terminal run command `osinfo-detect windows81.iso`


Actual results:
Only "Media is bootable" is print out

Expected results:
OS info is print on terminal screen

Comment 2 Christophe Fergeau 2015-09-01 14:40:43 UTC
Can you provide the output of isoinfo -d -i win81.iso ? If you have a f22 (or newer) install available, could you test if your iso is correctly identified there?

Comment 4 Christophe Fergeau 2015-09-23 09:05:09 UTC
Should be fixed by https://www.redhat.com/archives/libosinfo/2015-September/msg00028.html

Comment 6 Zeeshan Ali 2016-01-18 16:33:38 UTC
Can you please verify this is fixed in 7.2?

> Can you please verify this is fixed in 7.2?

Ah, nm. The upstream patch came after our last libosinfo 7.2 changes so it's unlikely it was fixed in 7.2.

Comment 8 Zeeshan Ali 2016-01-18 16:44:26 UTC
I suggest a rebase of libosinfo to 0.3.0 release.

Comment 10 Mike McCune 2016-03-28 23:47:57 UTC
